Product Overview
The Regatta Hi-vis pro comfort polycotton polo shirt is a meticulously engineered garment designed for professionals who require high-visibility protection without compromising on daily comfort. Unlike standard synthetic hi-vis options, this polo shirt features a sophisticated polycotton piqué fabric with a cotton-rich inner face. This construction ensures that the wearer enjoys a natural, soft feel against the skin, which is particularly beneficial during long shifts in demanding environments. It successfully bridges the gap between essential safety equipment and high-quality corporate leisurewear.
Key Features
- Cotton-Touch Inner: The dual-layered fabric places cotton against the skin, significantly improving wearer comfort and moisture management throughout the day.
- Certified Visibility: This garment is certified to EN ISO 20471:2013 A1:2016 Class 2, providing necessary protection in hazardous light conditions.
- Rail Industry Standard: The orange colourway is further certified to RIS-3279-TOM, making it suitable for UK rail infrastructure projects.
- UPF 40 Protection: The fabric provides a high level of ultraviolet protection, shielding the wearer from harmful sun exposure during outdoor work.
- Heat-Applied Segmented Tape: This advanced reflective tape allows for greater flexibility and breathability compared to traditional solid tapes, preventing the garment from feeling restrictive.
- Sustainability: Incorporating recycled polyester, this polo shirt is an excellent choice for businesses looking to improve their environmental impact.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a medium-weight polycotton piqué, the fabric composition of 55% cotton and 45% recycled polyester offers a robust yet breathable solution for active work. The inclusion of side vents ensures better airflow and freedom of movement, while the two-button placket and ribbed collar with contrast tipping provide a sharp, professional appearance. This is not merely a safety vest in shirt form; it is a well-engineered piece of workwear designed to maintain its shape and performance under physical strain.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
This polo shirt is exceptionally well-suited for both print and embroidery. For a superior finish and long-lasting professional appearance, we recommend embroidery for company logos and staff names on the chest. The medium-weight piqué fabric provides a stable base for high-stitch-count designs. Alternatively, if your requirement involves large, bold branding on the back, our high-quality printing techniques ensure maximum visibility. All customisation is performed by our expert in-house team in Telford, drawing on nearly five decades of experience since our establishment in 1976.
Use Cases
This garment is ideal for site managers, construction workers, and logistics personnel who need to be seen clearly on-site. The orange variant is specifically required for those working on or near the UK rail network. Due to its professional styling, it is also perfectly suited for supervisors who need to transition between active site environments and client-facing meetings.

Practical Advice
The sizing for this garment ranges from S to 4XL, catering to a wide variety of body types. When selecting your size, consider that the segmented tape provides more stretch than traditional reflective bands, but for a looser fit over base layers, you may wish to consult our sizing guide to ensure the best fit across the chest and shoulders.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-visibility properties and the integrity of the reflective tape, we recommend a mild wash with a low spin cycle. This prevents excessive mechanical stress on the heat-applied segments, ensuring they remain firmly attached and reflective for the life of the garment.
Do not use bleach or biological detergents containing optical brighteners, as these can degrade the hi-vis pigments and the recycled polyester fibres. Avoid tumble-drying or ironing the garment, as high heat can damage the reflective materials and lead to shrinkage. Instead, air dry your polo shirt away from direct sunlight to prevent premature fading of the fluorescent colour.
Finally, always wash the garment inside out and separate from dark colours. Do not store the polo shirt while damp or in direct sunlight, as this can encourage mildew and compromise the fabric's technical certifications.
